I have been told by the Foxboro security group that they can do a custom
installation and put your 8.5 Domain Controller off the mesh. Of course their
services are not free. I have also been told that having the domain controller
off the mesh will be supported as a standard option in version 8.7

Hmmm...I'm surprised that in 2010 an AD domain controller can't be be
dual-homed. Microsoft must be too focused on inventing the next Kin to
fix such a trivial little problem as that.
But, knowing less than squat about all this, and in light of some recent
list emails about locating the server for IEE off-mesh so you can use all
4 cores (which apparently are required for the heavy lifting involved),
how do you get this server machine into the domain?

Re: [foxboro] 8.5 Domain Controller
Dave,
Re: My understanding is that using the security options in 8.5 requires a
MS Domain, with a domain controller.
You are correct.
Re: Does the domain controller communicate over the mesh, or do they use
the secondary ethernet ports of the AW/WPs?
The only officially supported position is for the Domain Controllers to
be:
1) On the MESH (IOM restriction)
2) Not dual homed (MS restriction)
Of course, other configurations may work, but we haven't tested or
documented them at this point. We do have a Security group that can assist
with special situations.
Re: Also would it be allowable to run any other software on the domain
controller since this box is doing almost nothing (processing & network
wise).
The answer is no. MS says nothing on a DC. Of course, they are thinking
about DCs with 10,000s of users, but never the less we do not have
permission to load anything else on the box.
Re: This would be a great place to store engineering drawings, or other
items that might need to be accessed by engineers on an AW without having
access to the larger mill network.
True, but not available.
